I'm from Norway and want some sort of navigation for my Nexus S phone with Oxygen ROM running.

Can I use this, and how will it download all the maps to my phone automatically? Or how do I do that?

Sorry for noob questions :)

BTW; I don't see google maps(maps/kart) in Market after i've installed it.
[Android Apps and Games] zepp3lin:
Download the signed version maps5.5.0-ownhere-resign.apk on the OP and rename it to Maps.apk Here's what I did and it's the easiest way for me because my phone is rooted.

Use a root file explorer like in ES File Explorer, enable the root option and mount it so you can read and write.

Than go to .....system/app and delete the original maps.apk

Some of us the maps.apk recite in .....data/app so delete it there if your map recite in it.

Others may have two google maps with a different name but exist with the same google maps icon. Whatever it is just delete any google maps that appear in your system.

Than simply copy the signed version map Maps.apk that you rename just now to the respective folders. Mine is in system/app or to some in data/app

Do not need to delete the Street.apk

Reboot your phone if it still does not appear.

If this posting helps you than don't forget to click the Thanks button below :)
[Android Apps and Games] zepp3lin:
Oh I forget to mention, How do you know that it work?

Just click the blue arrow up navigation button in your applications and you are on your way.

If it does not work than there's a notice informing you that your country does not support navigation yet.

If you find that the google maps does not work with navigation than you have to go back check and redo the steps that I have given you. There might be a default google map existed in your system.

And please do not update your map on the market anymore as it will return to the default google map without navigation....

did you remember to wipe date in titanium back up before uninstalling the hacked version? also would help to reboot after uninstalling.

voice not working

I have successful install this Navigation Map, but I have a problem with voice speech. I cannot hear nothing.

I am using it in Incredible S phone.

Phone settings are:

Text-to-speech settings-Default Engine: Pico TTS

Language: English (United Kingdom)

Language & keyboard-Language settings: English (United Kigdom)

Why I cannot here any voice?
[Android Apps and Games] benhur5701:
and you have one language file installed?
[Android Apps and Games] Unlocker AL:
Language installed are:

German (Germany)

English (United Kingdom)

English (United States)

Spanish (Spain)

French (France)

Italian (Italy)
[Android Apps and Games] benhur5701:
I know it is little "tricky"to get it to work.I have to change to pico classic TTS and swedish voice "Klara" and after that select "always use my settings" but in english I dont know how?

But I think you have to select "default engine" also and there "Pico TTS"
[Android Apps and Games] Andreas75k:
The voice Klara is with SVOX, not Pico. Works great with SVOX for myself.
[Android Apps and Games] Unlocker AL:
I am talking for the default TTS not SVOX, I have not bought any voice from SVOX yet, but i have installed the engine only, but I don't use it yet.

When can we expect maps 5.6.0.. with worldwide navigation.
[Android Apps and Games] tama82:
How about opening the source?

Some of us who are free could work on it and share it here.
[Android Apps and Games] Brut.all:
Sources won't give you too much. There is no problem to port my code to newer versions of GMM - just baksmali it and copy smali/brut directory. Real problem is to modify smali of GMM's original code and you don't need any sources to do that.
[Android Apps and Games] xmsnx:
Anyone smart enough to do that?

I wish I was :(
[Android Apps and Games] tama82:
So I just have to disassemble it and modify the part where it checks for the country rite. I will try and look at it when I have the time. If it is not out by then. Thanks for sharing the method.
[Android Apps and Games] tama82:
Hi Brut.all,

I did some explorations and instinct told me that it is related to the NavigationAvailabilityProvider.

Hence, I looked in NavigationAvailabilityProvider and found a related class file which was edited in 5.5.0 (different from 5.6.0, as I do not have the original 5.5.0) where the following 2 lines were added:

1. const/4 v0, 0x1

2. return v0

I did the same for the equivalent class (com/google/googlenav/ab) and I could bypass the navigation check problem but I got a "no route found" instead.

Any ideas?

Could you tell me all the locations that you have edited in the previous version?

I will post it up here if I am successful. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Brut.all:
Here you have original GMM v5.5.0:

http://www.multiupload.com/FHHDY3O4VX

You could diff it with ownhere version to see changes needed for navigation.

My mod was much more complicated, it has a LOT of changes. There is no much sense in sending all of them to you.
[Android Apps and Games] hongkongtom:
Really thx for making this happen again after Brut.

I've successfully got it working using method 1 in OP, I assume that I can't update to 5.6.0 through market right?
[Android Apps and Games] tama82:
Just to update, I have completed all the modifications for the map files.

However, it does not yet work as brut.all sources links to the old files which I have yet to rectify.

Hope to get it up soon.

PS: I wanted to keep the source simple (without any extra functionalities) but I don't understand what the code does. So I can only port brut.all works.
[Android Apps and Games] tama82:
Done. I think.

Can someone verify it for me as I don't drive (or know how to do simulation).

Please comment if it works so that brut.all/stian230 can update the first post.
[Android Apps and Games] :No-Frost::
By "Done" you said that you have modified the app or that you finded the Ownhere 5.6.0 maps??
[Android Apps and Games] mammenj:
Can we do a normal install or backup, uninstall the previous hacked version and then install this?
[Android Apps and Games] tama82:
by done I meant I ported Brut.all's work to 5.6.0.

U want me to name is as maps-brut-tama? Lol.

I think u can just install over.
[Android Apps and Games] mammenj:
Just installed (normal apk install over the existing hacked) 5.6.

From the route given, it is working but not tested while driving.

Will test it in the afternoon and report back.
[Android Apps and Games] sopaipilla:

[Android Apps and Games] bharata212:
works!! on htc desire :) many thanks...
[Android Apps and Games] jameztcc:
Using ported 5.6 now. Works ;p

Can you do a tutorial /wiki and share with us how we could update for future maps release?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] tama82:
Quite troublesome. Will take a few hrs...

The following are the steps I took to port the modifications.

1) Download a working version of the hacked map, its corresponding original version and the latest map version.

2) Extract from all apks their classes.dex.

3) Disassemble the classes.dex (hack, original & new) using baksmali. This will create a folder of disassembled files for each classes.dex, viz., hfolder, ofolder & nfolder respectively.

4) Use a diff tool such as meld (in ubuntu) to find the differences in hfolder & ofolder.

5) Port the diff (i.e., modified parts) in hfolder to nfolder. Please make sure that they are the same file when porting (i.e., most of the other codes should match).

6) If you realise that the hacked file does not corresponds to the new file (i.e., same file name or file does not exists in nfolder), look for some codes (in the hacked file) that can uniquely identify it and search in the folder, using tools such as grep or find.

7) Copy all files in brut folder to nfolder.

8) Edit the files in brut folder of nfolder such that the references (some function calls to the map classes) in them point to the correct classes/files in nfolder.

9) Once all modifications are ported, assemble it using smali which will create a dex file. Name it as classes.dex.

10) Replace the classes.dex of the new map apk with the newly assembled classes.dex.

11) Resign the apk (please look for the tools to sign the package in rom hacking threads, I forgot where I got them) and install the new hack map on your phone.

You will need to use some brain power to find the relevant modified files and references in brut's files in the new map as some classes/paths are changed.

You can do a diff on the both the 5.5.0 and 5.6.0 hack and original maps to see how I did the changes. It will probably be the best way to see what I did.

Hope this is detailed enough.

Please note that I do not understand all the modifications made as I only did the porting of changes.

Please give credits to brut.all for doing the hard work of making this possible.

[Android Apps and Games] tama82:
I only did the porting of modifications.

From what I can see, credits should go brut.all for the additional codes he written.

I have updated the tutorial in post 619.

Hi all.

I don't know if I'm misunderstanding things here...

I had 5.6.0 version installed (NOT resign version). Then today it was "upgraded" to Googles crippled 5.6.2. I don't want Googles crap map! I thought if I didn't use the resign version this wouldn't happen? If I never again want to loose navigation, which version should I use?

Ah. Guess I got it the wrong way around then. I guess it's the resign version I should install.

No new version available is ownhere version, which replaces stock application.

There is a way to use new google map navigation separately, along with stock application. you search market for Andnav! (not andnav2), which is free n very simple navigation application using data from google map, this application you can use along with stock application n using latest map (even more latest thn 5.6.2). but having quite less features.

Firstly I tried to install the apk from file explore but it told me "Application not installed", then I followed the installation guide to install via ADB but failed when remount

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb remount

remount failed: Operation not permitted

I also tried "mount -o remount,rw /system" in adb shell but no luck.

Then I use root explore to copy the apk file to /system/app then reboot, but still not work.

Actually I followed the Titanium method in first post as below, but in step 4, I always got "Application not installed" error. What I did is install the resign.apk in file explorer, is there anything I should take more care?

How to install re-sign version

1. In Titanium Backup, select Maps and make a backup.

2. Select Maps and wipe data, then uninstall.

3. Select Street View and wipe data, then uninstall

4. Install Google Maps 5.x ownhere-resign.apk

5. Go to market, and reinstall street view.

[Android Apps and Games] Kinslayer81:
What was the error? Depending on certain settings, adb won't run with root priviledges by default. Try this:

$ adb shell <-- this line on your computer
$ su <-- authorize this on your phone the 1st time you do it
# mount -o remount,rw /system
... do what you need to do...
# mount -o remount,ro /system

Note the first character on the line.

$ = regular shell
